Here’s a Photoshop view of how far our Indiana hero was from the mall shooter when he terminated him.

1100 feet per second with a 9mm. 40 Yards is 120 feet so about a tenth of a second to target and very flat trajectory at that distance. Fire center mass so any miss still hits the torso.
Thank you, that's the kind of answer I've been looking for and no one has been able to give me.
15 seconds to fire 10 shots shows he took time to aim each shot. In the movies you see people do a mag dump without aiming between shots. Only takes a second to reacquire the target through the sites each shot and makes all the difference of whether you hit the target or not. At close range of 10 feet point and shoot is effective but at a greater distance it is important to acquire the target with the sites.
Makes sense. The range I was on doesn't allow rapid firing but being a complete newbie it always took me several seconds to re-acquire the target between shots.
To speed that up try using the sights to aim center mass rather than a bullseye. Forget the ten ring and just aim for the center of the full target. It will reduce your time drastically.
